Bentley

Cricklewood Factory Mechanics also called "the Bentley Boys"

Two tons of car; Big, rugged, solid, careening around a track, the screaming wail of the supercharger rising above the
engine's roar - that was the famous Blower Bentley.

Ten mad years! Jazzy, noisy, fun loving, fast moving, a devil-maycare attitude about everything - those were the Roaring
Twenties. The decade and the car went together.

The car was the hard-driving, earsplitting complement to the gay life. What the Stutz Bearcat meant to the college youth
of America, the Bentley meant to the young bloods of England.

It underscored, and quite noisily, the hysterical relief and reaction that followed World War I. And when the twenties
ended, the Bentley was ended. It became sedate, silent, and aristocratic; for it was now being made by Rolls-Royce.

1972 AMS Lamborghini Miura V12 Prototipo Racecar

1972 AMS Lamborghini Miura V12 Prototipo Racecar

The AMS with V12 Lamborghini Miura engine was a one-off prototype built in 1972 for an American Gentleman who was planning to participate into European Sportscar racing. We are looking for all information available on this unique prototype.

We are in direct contact with the initiator of the project in 1972 as well as the current owner. In order to verify its history and to trace some missing parts we require the following information:

Bimota; Tamburini, the Michelangelo of Motorcycle design

Massimo Tamburini with his 1971 MV Agusta 600 Bimota special

Bimota motorcycles was born by accident, though for superbike enthusiasts the accident was a surprisingly happy event.

In 1966, Valerio Bianchi, Giuseppe Morri and Massimo Tamburini establised Idrotermica Bimota, a heating business in the town of Rimini, on the Adriatic coast, an area of Italy which had long been a center for both racing and motorcycle manufacture.

Tamburini's passion however, was motorcycle design and Massimo modified several local riders' machines to make them faster, lighter and handle better. His efforts were rewarded with success, and before long his work on one particular bike, the MV Agusta 600 four, had gained the admiration of the entire Italian biking fraternity.

Yet, it was an event in the summer of 1972 which was the key to the birth of Bimota; a routine test session at the Misano circuit where Tamburini, his friend Giuseppe Morri and racer Luigi Anelli were testing a Honda CB750. Massimo crashed his Honda Four which left him with three broken ribs.

Maserati; il Tridente di Bologna

There were once six brothers in Italy who were artists. Their name was Maserati. One, Mario, worked with
paints and canvas. The others made things out of metal.

Fine things with fine engines in them that won races and the respect of all men who admire artistry no
matter what form it may take.

Of the five mechanically inclined brothers - Carlo, Bindo, Alfieri, Ettore, and Ernesto - three are still
making cars as though they were making watches.

Bindo, Ernesto, and Ettore, however, no longer make the car that bears the family name. They work in Bologna
in their hospital-clean, uncluttered shop, building a car called the O.S.C.A., which stands for Officine
Specializzate Costruzioni Automobili.
